In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b)). • Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the paper, and numbered correspondingly. • The filename for a graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
